The Coombs Invasion.

Mom and dad arrive on Thursday! Excited? Very. I need a little love from home. Plans are still up in the air about what we might do but I'm game for whatever my mother has planned. Dad, like always is along for the ride. It should be a wonderful two weeks and all that will be missing is Tyler. Mom and I have talked about another trip for him later in the year. Europe with Tylerman would be just wonderful.

Life is good! Now I am off to call a fellow Wind Ensemble member to arrange travel plans for her:)

Happy days!

how to be alone.

Glastonbury Festival 2010

I missed it this year but you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to make it next year.

Check out the the line up: Kate Nash, Imogen Heap, Stevie Wonder, Jack Johnson, The National, and Snoop Dogg. Maybe you'll find something that interests you because you are all invited to come along! Camping!

2010 Lineup

Two

- I'm happier now than when I arrived here.

- I daydream about where I am going to go the next day.

- The Bansky works around Bristol never ever get old.

- Homesickness isn't something I have experienced too much because I keep busy. Days like this I feel it a little bit. August 5th always comes with sunshine but even after 13 years I still wish I could have a whiskery kiss from my papa.

- Brenna is the greatest.

- After being in Wolfville for 6 years I find it hard going out around 11:30-12 and staying out until 4am... Last time we went out the sun was coming out. I really go out so I can have the chips and curry sauce from that amazing chip wagon.

- My pen pal skills have been improving because I don't have internet at my flat yet. Although when I need a fix I buy it for 5 pounds and I get it for 24 hours!

- It's so green here and very, very beautiful.

- I have yet to meet some friends but I am sure that will come soon enough.

- I find that I laugh to myself when I remember that I am in England... I'm in England.

- Prague, I'm coming for you.

- Mom and Dad are coming to visit next week. I'm super excited. There might be a Italy trip in the near future with them! Rome. Even though I am on shaky grounds with the Vatican I have wanted to go since... forever? Yes, sounds about right. Oh the Vatican. Who's getting the nicest pair of rosary beads ever? Me.

- There is a balloon festival next week! 150 hot air balloons in the air. I'm down with that.

- I can barely stay up past 11pm cause I'm a grandma.

Happy two months England!

I went to Korea a few years ago and I went to see the tallest Buddha in the world. To get there you had to walk up a steep road and then climb up 100s of stairs. It was tiring and really hot out. My cousins were behind me and stopped to take a lot of pictures so I walked up on my own, sometimes I prefer that honestly. You can’t see anything while you are walking up the stairs until you arrive at the top. Once you get there and you see what is there you forget that your legs burns, that you a sweaty and tired. It was the most peaceful place I have ever been in my life and I know I shared that emotion with some of the people around me, I could see it on their faces. That’s how I felt in Glastonbury, at peace and happy. The amount of history there is simply amazing! It also had some of the best scenes my eyes have had the pleasure of seeing. I want to take you all there! The Abbey was great and seeing the ruins of what was left was eerie and and very cool.

It's almost two weeks that I haven't worked. I might have to break down and go to the temp agency but I would rather not. I am thinking about going on a day trip to Wales and it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow so maybe I will take advantage of the weather and my free time!

Tomorrow it will be my 2 month anniversary with England. Very healthy relationship and I think it's getting serious.

Anyway the library is closing soon and I need to return to the o.c. It's such a pleasant walk down memory lane, the fights, the break ups, clever Seth Cohen... oh the days when I loved him, how things have changed. Never the less I find it entertaining and it gives me satisfaction to know that there is more drama in a 45 minute episode of the o.c. than in my 24 years of being me. Never fear readers I am not only watching crap! When I get the opportunity I watch the United States of Tara. If you haven't seen or heard of it I highly suggest it!!

Screw money... i'm going to Wells and Glastonbury tomorrow!!!

In a year... I'll kick myself for not going rather than the few pounds I'll save.

Good choice, Coombs
